Elon Musk said that the Ukrainian military violated Starlink's terms of use, and used it for drone strikes "to kill people." According to him, this opportunity was closed last week. Musk emphasized that Starlink remains critical to the defense of Ukraine, and its shutdown would lead to the "immediate collapse of the Ukrainian front." Musk also stated that Star Shield, unlike Starlink, is controlled by the US government and the decision to use it is in his hands. He added that SpaceX has allegedly done more for the defense of Ukraine than any other private company.
